Critical Points of Degenerate Metrics on Algebraic Varieties: A Tale of Overparametrization
Giovanni Luca Marchetti, Erin Connelly, Paul Breiding +1
We study the critical points over an algebraic variety of an optimization problem defined by a quadratic objective that is degenerate. This scenario arises in machine learning when…

Differential Equations for Gaussian Statistical Models with Rational Maximum Likelihood Estimator
Carlos Améndola, Lukas Gustafsson, Kathlén Kohn +2
We study multivariate Gaussian statistical models whose maximum likelihood estimator (MLE) is a rational function of the observed data. We establish a one-to-one correspondence bet…

Adjoints and Canonical Forms of Polypols
Kathlén Kohn, Ragni Piene, Kristian Ranestad +5
Polypols are natural generalizations of polytopes, with boundaries given by nonlinear algebraic hypersurfaces. We describe polypols in the plane and in 3-space that admit a unique…
